This Wednesday, former All My Children actor and current host of Man v. Food, Adam Richman, travels to Phoenix to stop at Los Reyes de la Torta and Alice Cooperstown, before taking on the Ultimate Slider Challenge at Chompie's. The challenge, which will air Wednesday night at 9 p.m. on the Travel Channel, gives Adam 30 minutes to down five pounds of Jewish sliders (mini challah rolls filled with brisket, potato pancake, and jack cheese, with a side of brown gravy) and onion rings. Go Adam!

The best part: we get Chompies sliders for 99 cents this Wednesday. The not-so-good part: Adam goes shopping on 5th Avenue in Scottsdale. More after the jump.

To celebrate this week's airing of Man v. Food in Phoenix, Chompies will be offering their Jewish sliders for just 99 cents (regularly $3.99 each) from 10:30 a.m. to close Wednesday, July 14 -- minimum two per person.

For a good laugh with your Chompie's lunch, check out this video of Adam, obviously under some form of contractual obligation, as he finds the six people shopping on 5th Avenue in Scottsdale to tell the world how "hip" shopping on 5th Avenue in Scottsdale is. Bonus drinking game: take a shot every time the horse fountain is shown -- whee!
